Tadano to launch electric rough terrain

Tadano announced it is working on plans to commercialise the world’s first electric rough terrain crane. Currently in development, the crane will be able to drive to the job site and complete all lifting operations using battery/electric power.

Tadano is currently working with a variety of industry suppliers and partners and targets commercialisation of the new electric rough terrain crane in late 2023.

“In the spirit of greater harmony, Tadano contributes to a better global environment as a part of the surrounding society,” said Toshiaki Ujiie, President, CEO and Representative Director of Tadano. “We have set aggressive goals for lowering both operational and product emissions, and we will partner with industry leading companies to attain those goals. In conjunction with previous product innovations to lower CO2 emissions, we are excited to introduce the first battery/electric rough terrain crane, which will be a key driver for our goal of 35 percent reduction in product CO2 emissions by 2030.”
